  • Passed My PhD Confirmation Viva

    I undertook my Ph.D. Confirmation viva voce today (6th Feb 2018). This entailed a presentation and a report to two professors, Dr. Jonathan Dukes (presentation chair) and Dr. Michael Manzke (domain expert) of Trinity College Dublin who questioned me during and after the presentation. After a short discussion with my supervisor Dr. David Gregg, they confirmed me to the Ph.D. register and therefore become a Ph.D. candidate.

    13th Summer School on Advanced Computer Architecture and Compilation for High-Performance and Embedded Systems

    Just a quick note from me to congratulate and thank the organisers and lecturers for what I feel was a very enjoyable, educational, informative and entertaining (Trunk Monkey [1] aside Prof. Huebner) set of courses and keynote talks. I’m still going over it all and digesting it more than a week later! And the photos [2] are great!

    The poster session was also an eye opener for me in that not only could I communicate my published paper as expected but also spread the word and hopefully get a few more citations for it 😉

    Both keynotes were excellent and I look forward to getting a (Google blessed) copy of the slides from Olivier. The career talk was also informative and useful so thanks to Xavier for arranging that.

    And last but not least, thank you Vicky for arranging for my family to stay at the hotel with me. They had a blast!
